1 Day Unit where the STEM Coaches come to you

Connect your adaptation unit to a real world community service project.

Teacher Work:

• No pre-work required other than your normal unit on adaptations

• Gearing up for Good experience: 

  • 1 hour on the STEM Bus coding and building a bus out of Legos. The bus will need to be modified at the end to pick up a student in a wheelchair. (physical adaptation)

  • 1 hour in the classroom with a STEM Coach using Tinkercad. Students design a name plate for the child who will be recieving the bike. We bring a 3-D printer and we print the winning design.

  • 30 minute bike build with engineer Ben from Bluegrass Ambucs. Ben will bring an Amtryke bike that needs to be built. The build will take place in the cafeteria. The build will be in an assembly line form.

  • The family will typically come to the school and the students gift the bike to the kid and their family.
